What is very important is that a patch series never ever break something when it gets only partially applied. This is because all the automated testing and debugging that is being used today. The most common example is git-bisect but lately aiaiai [1] is becoming fashionable, too. So I rather spend some extra time on reviewing a big, complex patch now than living with the consequences of improper splitting later. But of course properlz split patches are always preferred :-) Ralf [1] http://lwn.net/Articles/488992/
